emby incorrectly assigned metadata to TV show

[TN24 1]

Hi, I've only been using emby for a short time, I bought emby premiere. Emby sometimes assigns the metadata to a newly added series incorrectly. For example, I have a folder "Reacher (2022)" but emby identified it as The Teacher 2022. Is there any way to solve this problem?

Name your series folder:

Reacher (2022) [tvdbid=366924] 

Delete existing NFOs (if any), scan media library.

What is your current file name and folder structure for the series?  This can easily throw Emby off if it's not sufficiently in line with their naming requirements.

And if I want this to happen automatically?

You could also use the identify feature instead of renaming.

I would read through this TV Naming | Emby Documentation

So I solved it! I renamed the folder from "Reacher (2022)" to "Jack Reacher (2022)". After that, everything identified itself.
